When I was a little kid my parents used to travel to England about once a year to visit my godmother who lived in one of those old English houses that can be called castles. I don’t mean a big house like a castle I mean an actual castle like in Downton Abbey, but not as big as that though. God I miss that place. It was the best, it was awesome, it was great. It was a play-garden for me as kid because every time I came there I had new things to discover. The name of the house was Heronden Hall, and it’s actually the one you see on the picture. You can image what an adventure those trips were for me. It was like a paradise for a innocent kid with too much imagination. On one of these trips my godmother took us to see the show Starlight Express in the Apollo Theater. It was back then the coolest thing I ever saw. It’s a memory that will stay with me until my last breath. Truth be told, it doesn’t look as glamorous on the video below as it did back then. But you gotta admit, it’s still pretty awesome even for today’s standards.

I recently found a funny line that was spoken in a series I was watching (Grace & Frankie, it’s a really great and funny show btw!), and I just had to record it and post it as an addendum for my earlier post My dad hasn’t seen breaking bad yet. So dad, this one is also for you!

The following video is about video game addiction. I used to be really addicted to World of Warcraft and there have been days that I played literally days on end. And I mean like 12 hours a day. Nowadays I don’t play as much as I used to back then, and that’s a good thing because other things in life are more important. But having said that, I wouldn’t have wanted to spend the last decade without the World of Warcraft because it has given me soo much more besides just an awesome gaming experience. The community and my friends are what kept this game interesting enough for me the last 11 years. There’s no denying that it has become, and always will be an important part of me because of all the good memories. Love you all! For the Alliance!! But, in all hionesty, and I speak from experience, there is of course the addictive part that should not be forgotten. So people, play, but keep it fun.

Today is Sunday, and let’s just say that this will nót be the best day of my week. I’m sure there’s plenty of you who can relate to that. A day to reflect on one’s life and think: Did I do anything stupid last night? On days like this I’m really happy that we have Netflix. It is like a little gift from the gods themselves. Me and my friends believe in a thing that we call “perfect Sunday movie”. What makes a movie a perfect Sunday movie? Well it has to be a movie that is easy to watch, won’t make you think about complicated stuff, it has to be funny, and also a little ‘feelgood’ in it. Also if you miss ten or fifties minutes of the movie you should be able to drop right back in and continue watching and still understand what’s going on. Hot babes and explosions are also very important. Today, I have found the perfect Sunday movie that meets all the earlier mentioned criteria. I had some good laughs, especially when a grannie zombie tried to bite somebody’s ass but couldn’t because she didn’t have her teeth in. You can imagine what that’s like. So if you’re in need of a perfect Sunday movie, head on over to le Netflix and go see. If you don’t have access to Netflix then GO GET IT unless you like torrents.

The very great Jim Jefferies has got his own late night show now called The Jim Jefferies Show. In the very first episode our little country the Netherlands get’s a lot of attention. I will let you decide wether that’s positive or negative. (Don’t forget the great good while you watch it and happen to be Dutch also). The show just aired so I haven’t been able to find a stream that you can watch yet, but of course it can be downloaded by using torrent here. (tip: use μTorrent to downloading torrents).
